Why I-32?

Winter stories ride Interstate 32, after 32 °F: the line between rain and snow, and between a wet road and an icy one.

32 °F

The freezing point, and the line between rain and everything else on this road's maps.

Nor'easter

A coastal low off the Northeast whose winds come from the northeast; the heavy snow falls to its northwest.

Lake effect

Snow made when cold air crosses a warm lake and drops the moisture downwind in narrow bands.
